Getting from Lagos city center to Lagos airport

Lagos is served by Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS), located approximately 22 km northwest of Lagos Island city center. The airport handles both international and domestic flights and is the busiest aviation hub in Nigeria. Reaching the airport from the city center involves navigating Lagos's famously congested road network, so planning ahead is essential. Options for airport transfers from the city center include taxis, ride-hailing apps, private transfers, and public buses. Journey times vary significantly depending on traffic conditions, time of day, and departure point within the city.

  • Prices in NGN; table created in 2025 and subject to change.
  • USD equivalents are approximate and based on prevailing exchange rates at time of publication.
  • Lagos traffic is highly unpredictable. Journey times can increase significantly during morning and evening peak hours, on Fridays, and around public holidays. Allow extra time for early morning flights.
  • There is currently no rail or metro link directly connecting Lagos city center to Murtala Muhammed International Airport.
  • Ride-hailing apps such as Uber and Bolt are widely used and generally reliable; surge pricing applies during peak periods.
  • Danfo minibuses and BRT services require at least one transfer and are not recommended for travelers with large luggage or tight departure schedules.
  • The LAGFERRY water taxi service operates between Lagos Island and Apapa; a taxi or ride-hailing service is still required for the final leg to the airport.
  • All prices are subject to change. We recommend checking official transport websites for your travel planning.
